Following economic disasters and global wars, the Earth of 1914 is very different than it was a century ago. Steam power has taken control, and the globe is changing faster than ever. Everyone wants to get rich quick as best they can, and the richer they get, the better it is for them. Your characters are world leaders, politicians, investors, or inventors looking to take advantage of the "steam revolution" to see what heights (literally and figuratively) you can reach before you fall. Some are talking about blimps, others improved trains and ships, and others still space exploration-- the possibilities are endless! The 1914 World Fair in Houston, Texas will display many of the new wonders, including the first ever steam-powered vehicle that uses water and charcoal briquettes. Everyone who is anyone (or no one at all) will be there, including world leaders, ambassadors, and inventors of all kinds.
